Maybe i am missing something in your post, and if so i appologize, but this thread is talking about BLUE caster gems. Neither spell crit or spell dmg fill a blue slot, so i dont understand your post. also the statment of spell crit being inferior to spell dmg is false. This is not a linear function, and thusly the % of dps increase of 5 spell damage is not a constant. The more spell dmg you have the less % of dps increase u get from 1 additional spell dmg. Although +dmg gives dimishing returns, crit will produce a constant % of dps increase. If you need more info on this check my post on the thread "[shaman} relentless earthstone for ele".
